All Funeral Director and Embalmer licensees are to report their CEs to the CE Broker tracking system (Board Meeting 09/01/2022). Do not send CE certificates to the Board office as staff will not be able to upload on your behalf.
If the CE Provider is reporting course completion to CE Broker, licensees do not need to self-report. Check with the provider to confirm reporting.
